Drawer magnets

Puritan drawer magnets provide equipment and product protection from medium and fine ferrous contaminants in dry, free-flowing products under gravity flow. As product flows through the stainless steel housing, it cascades over multiple, staggered rows of magnetic tubes. Ferrous contaminants are pulled to the surface of the magnets where they move to the underside of the tubes to prevent washoff. Cleaning the magnetic tubes is accomplished by releasing the latch assembly, opening the door, removing the grate assemblies one at a time and removing the tramp metal with gloved hands.

A reliable plant is a safe plant, a wise person once said. It’s also a profitable one, and more likely to give its customers the quality and consistency they expect from their favorite brands. So with the promised wave of ubiquitous sensing and connected devices, we may soon see new ways of maximizing that value, quality, safety and profitability through predictive, reliability centered maintenance.
But if those tools and analytics are not built on a stable, simple, absolutely reliable platform we may spend more energy worrying about the tools than the problems they should fix. This webinar will take a look at secure, simple and reliable platforms that can support the promise of the IIoT (Industrial Internet of Things).
